2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible Mystichrome EditionOnly 2,537 Original Miles Collector Grade TerminatorThe Legend of the TerminatorProduced by Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT), the 20032004 Cobras earned the nickname Terminator for their absolute dominance over the competition. At its heart lies a hand-built 4.6L DOHC V8 equipped with a factory Eaton M112 Supercharger. While officially rated at 390 HP, these engines were famously underrated, often producing well over 420 HP in stock form.The Mystichrome Appearance Package (Order Code 68M)To celebrate the Mustangs 40th Anniversary, SVT introduced the Mystichrome package. This was not just a paint job; it was a technological marvel.The Paint: Utilizing ChromaFlair light-interference pigments, the finish shifts through a mesmerizing spectrum of teal, blue, royal purple, and deep black depending on the lighting and viewing angle.The Leather: In a world-first for production cars, the interior leather seat inserts and steering wheel grips feature the same color-shifting technology, mirroring the exteriors prismatic effect.Extreme Rarity & Production NumbersThe Mystichrome was a strictly limited-run edition, making it one of the most sought-after late-model Mustangs in existence.Total Mystichrome Production: Only 1,010 units total (Coupe and Convertible combined).The Convertible Factor: Only 495 Mystichrome Convertibles were ever produced, making this body style significantly rarer than the coupe.Low-Mile Survivor: With just 2,537 miles, this vehicle is in the top tier of all remaining examples, preserved in time capsule condition.Vehicle HighlightsSupercharged 4.6L V8: Hand-assembled with forged internals for legendary durability.Tremec T-56 6-Speed Manual: The only transmission offered, providing a pure, connected driving experience.Independent Rear Suspension (IRS): A signature Cobra feature for superior handling compared to standard Mustangs.Exclusive Trim: 17-inch factory chrome five-spoke wheels and unique SVT badging.Premium Features: Includes the Mach 460 Audio System with a 6-disc CD changer and a power-retractable top.Historical SignificanceThe 2004 model year marked the final year of the New Edge SN-95 platform and the last SVT Cobra until the nameplate was replaced by the Shelby GT500 in 2007. Because of its over-engineered engine and one-year-only paint technology, the Mystichrome Terminator has become a staple of elite car collections worldwide.Collector Note: Finding a Mystichrome with under 3,000 miles is an increasingly rare opportunity. As a 40th Anniversary celebration piece, its place in Ford history is permanently cemented.
